No definite conclusion has yet been
arrived at says the Baltimore WlJuH as
to whom the Republicans will nominate
tor Governor or Mayor. Out in the
counties delegations have been selected
to the state convention which have ex-
pressed as their choice either !. Morri-
son Harris, Enoch Pratt or State Sena-
tor Hodson, OF Somerset, while in the
city there is strong sentiment in favor
of Walter B. Brooks, president of the
Merchants Club.
Mr.. Enoch Pratt looks askance when
anyone approaches him about Guber-
material nomination. A newspaper man
waited upon him in his office on South
Charles street yesterday and preached

The disposition to closely scrutinize
the characters OF candidates was never
as general as now. Outside of all party
questions, the people are looking to the
personal qualification ofthose presented
to them for positions of public trust.
Party platforms are not considered half
SO much by intelligent voters as the
character and reputation of nominees.
We commend to the Republicans of
this county the common sense of the
following taken from Republican CO.
temporary: First class candidates and
a clean party organization are the con-
sideration which the Republican party
must tender in return for independent
support. This is not much to give. The
party ought always to offer it. Yet, 10
be able to present it there must be both
work and wisdom employed between
this and the time for the nomination.
The first thing which every Republican
must bear in mind is that personal con-
siderations and the feelings and claims
of particular individuals IN the party
must count for nothing. Nominations
must not be given to man merely be-
cause his services for the party have
been laborious and unrequited. The
friends of men who they know are fit
in mind and morals for the place must
not bring them to the front if there are
differences of opinion as to their quail
fications. The party cannot afford to
undertake the vindicatjon of ANYBODY.
1t must nominate men who have not
had the misfortune to need a vindica-
ton of anybody. Men must not be
nominated whom the people do not
know and whose fitness for office will
have to be demonstrated after they are
on the ticket. Every candidate should
himself be an advertisement of the char
aCter of the nominations as a whole. In
local conventions and primaries, men
of doubtful reputation must not be put
forward, even if, as may sometimes be
the case, peculiar circumstances make
them the strongest possible candidates
in the particular neighborhoods which
vote upon their candidacy. The public
will Judge Of the ticket as whole. The
best way to get good nominees is to
send good delegates, and delegates
whom the public know to be good, to
every one of the conventions, state, city
and local.

standing and character will command
not only the support OF al The kcPub-
hcan voters of the county, but also of
the large class of independent voters of
it. who are heartily tired of the costly
and cXtrlvag1nt manner in which the
business affairs of the county have been
conducted in recent years. We see
nothing in its general administration of
county affairs to recommend to inter
,crested taX-paycrs, the continuance OF
the Democratic party in power. For
twenty years past it has held undisputcd
sway in the county. Over and over
again it's local political agents have
been changed by the election OF new
Boards OF County Commissioners, and
by political shifts from one individual
hand to another. Business positions
have been and still are parcelled out to
party favoritcs, while the great body Of
tax PAYERS have had no voice in the Sc
lection of their business agents. We
believe that the interests of the tax
payers OF tine county would be bene
fitted by change of local administra
ton. Unresualned, unchecked party
control of county affairs should not be
long continued. y strict standard of
official accountability is best attained
by changes of administration within rea-
sonable periods. With men who hope
to become party beneficiaries, of course
this argument has no force. Direct
accountability, however, in offices of
public trust is easiest secured by select
ing the best men as candidates. He
who manages successfully his own bus
mess gives the best guarantee of sue
cess as a public officer. We hope to
see the entire Republican ticket to be
nominated on Monday next made up
| from the ranks of successful business
men, of which the Republican
party of Cecil county contains an am
pie number from which to make sclcc-
tons.

\ Baltinnrean Drowned.

REHoBoTH, DEL, Aug. 14.-Today &C.
CURED the first drowning accident of the
season, and the second in the history of
this place. Jacob Frenz and three com
panionS went in the water about half
past three o'clock. The surf was very
rough. FreuZ was unable to swim, but
was daring and ventursome. His eager
ness to learn to swim cost him his life.
Contrary to the advice of his friends he
went beyond his depth, and being very
rotund he was readily knocked from his
feet by large wave. He tiouudered
short time in the surf, and his friends be-
ing unable to assist him he soon disap-
peared. The victim was p years of age
and resided in Baltimore. For some
time he was chef at Grafton, w. Va. He
was employed in the capacity of chef at
the Henlopen Hotel here, in front of
which he was drowned. His body has
not been recovered.

control of the organization in the hope
of Jumping into Federal offices, and

But to those who suffer the depressing eff

is more pain than pleasure in leaving home.

Sharks are accused of causing great
scarcity of soft crabs in the waters of

unusually numerous and bold, and may
be seen any day swimming about on the
flats, exploring the water grass with

that are shedding places of crabs and de-
stroy all the soft ones they can find. One

GLOW many votes will the Prohibi-
ton ticket get this year in Maryland?'
was the question put to Chairman VIM
Daniel, Of the Prohibition State Com
mittee.
81 shall be very much surprised" he
replied, ''if we do not poll $1,000 at
least for Summeltlelu Baldwin, our can
didate for Governor. If we had the
funds, say $1,000, to carry on our can
vass, | believe we could swell the vote
this time to $4,000. But we are poor,
and what results we obtain we reach by
hard work and little money. The vote
for St. John in Maryland was 2,Soo
while in 1886 the Prohibition Congress
sional candidates received 7,I95-an
increase of about $50 per cent. This
year look out for us. Why, l wouldn't
be surprised to see our vote run up to
10000, even if the Republicans have a
full ticket in the field"
"How about Baltimore City?'
Owe will receive a large gain in the
city, Last year we got $500 votes.
Wen get pretty near 10000 for Bald
win. The largest increase will be in
Baltimore and on the Eastern Shore.
In Western Maryland our vote will be
increased ! believe in Frederick, Car
roll and Allegany. Hartford will also
give us a bigger vote than ever before"
"You have a strong ticket in Balti-
more county,"
"Yes,' replied Mr.. Daniel, "a very
strong ticket, and it is going to poll
1000 votes. The Democratic ticket
is weak and the disahfection is great. If
we had s. 900 to spend in Baltimore
county we could, l am confident, get
5000 votes and elect our candidates for
county offices and Legislature"

'perhaps the most contemplate person

Career of an English Gid.

Several years ago Miss Beihv
young English woman who had st,,s

ness as q missionary at Lucknow &

native prince of Puma, who was ii

Her friends urged her to refuse. Tba
Engllshwoman was young and tim;d
but she knew her duty; she went. "a

the Rance sent to her and begged her
to go IN person to Queen Victoria
with the message That Indian women
not being allowed the attendance ~
men physicians, died IN great nnm
bers every year for want of care. The
Rance brought paper, pen and ink,
and with tears besought Miss Beibv
to write her petition to the Queen IL

returned to England the next
year, obtained an interview with
Queen Victoria, and placed the
locket in her hands with the message,
The Queen was deeply touched, and
empowered Lady Dufferin, the wife OF
the viCeroy of India, to form an asso-
citation for sending out female medical
aid to the ONE OF India. MANY
women doctors have been sent out by
the association, and Indian women
are o being educated as physicians
and nurses. An estate of so acres,
with large buildings, has beengiven by
a native prince as a hospital for Hin
doc female patients. Had the timid
missionary refused to undertake the
perilous duty to one woman these
great BILE ssings-which are but the be-
ginning of help and hope for all the
women OF India-probably never
would have come to them. Sow the
seeds, however small it be, of good
deeds. Only God knows what the
fruit will be.

wondered at the madness which had
possessed her.
For the colonel was Enthusiastically the
worse for wine. She had not noticed
this fact before leaving home, but the
strong fumes Of his breath, as he bent
Familiarity down to speak to her, and
his haIf-maudlin love talk soon dis
gusted her.
'Take me home, sir" she command
ed, as soon as she became fully aware
of the situation.
But she might as we'll have uttered
her commands to the wind.
The colonel persisted in prOIOnglng
the sleigh ride through street after
street, and pouring his unwelcome pro-
testations of love into her disguised
ears until, in sheer desperation, she
seized the reins with her W hands,
and vowed that she would call for
help if he did not at once return.
And it will be the last time" she
muttered to herself, in q bitter re.
pentanCe, that | will ever play fast
and loose with Gerald Cosgrove."
Ayl so it will, Miss Flossie, but that
decision does not rest entirely in your
own fair hands.
In sullen silence the colonel drove
hOmeward, while Flossie sat ereCt,,and
still, with angrily flushed cheeks and
flashing eyes.
Just as they reached the door an
other sleigh drew up, and in the Gen-
tleman who alighted from it Flossie
recognized Mr.. C~OsgrOve, with q thrill
of delighted surprise.
"Oh, Gerald" she cried, as, scorning
the colonies offered hand she sprung
out unassisted, and laid her hand up
on his, sure as ever OF his pardon.
"Oh, Gerald, forgive me! did not in

evening in my life" with a scornful
glance towards the colonies fast-re-
treating sleigh. But Why Lucia!"
she broke off in astonishment, as she
perceived that Gerald was not alone.
Eyes, is is Lucia" replied Gerald
coolly, as he tenderly lifted out the
graceful little form. 1--WE have had q
most delightful sleigh ride. Sorry you
did not enjoy yourself. But | must
ask you to congratulate me, Miss
Flossie, for your cousin Lucia has
promised to be my wife"
We shall not attempt to portray
the feelings of the willfuI, but now
cheCkmated beauty, nor all that poor
Lucia had to endure from her angry
cousin between that sleighride and her
wedding day.
But we do know that the bitterest
disappointment of one life, and the
greatest happiness of others, dated
from the evening of those two eventful
sleigh rides.
